One method is simple. The guy who reached into his secondary puts his arm down & takes the shot. When he puts his arm down he's communicated to the other official what his intent is.

Where did the ball originate from? I know if I am the C, I am not leaving the ball just because the ball is in my partner's area. I am sticking with the ball until I am sure my partner picked up the ball. I really do not see this as a big deal or hard to do. I just pointed out that both officials can signal a 3 point shot based on the written mechanics and usual practices that I have worked under. If you cannot handle doing that, do what works for you. The mechanics books do not say that the middle of the lane at the top of the key is it is just one official or the other. It says both C and T can both rule on a 3 point shot. I was not trying to debate all the possibilities that can happen. I just wanted those to know what the books actually say.
